just got nice new CP reg and I was wondering what the best psi to run the a-5 with is? Ive heard people say don't go below 750 and then I've heard people say it works fine at 650. I have polished interns and a e-grip with JCS duel trigger and I shoot a lot of paint. I need it to conserve more shots and keep a better fps consistency. What are your suggestions for the operating psi?

I gassed it up and the highest i can get the reg up to is 550-570. It says it should go betwen 0-900 but i dunno about that. I might need a different internal valve or something anyone know? or can I just run it at 550?
